00Frameworks

The obligation. The record that answers it.

Four frameworks, the obligations that touch AI activity records, and the artefact Ovelin produces for each. We map obligations to records. Your counsel decides what applies to you.

01EU AI Act

EU AI Act

Applies to Anyone placing an AI system on the EU market or using one that affects people in the EU, regardless of where the company is based.

The record-keeping and oversight articles are the ones an assessor opens first, because they are the ones you either have or you don't.

Art. 12Record-keeping
Every agent action is appended and sealed at the moment it arrives. Entries are never updated in place, so the log you show is the log that was written.
Art. 14Human oversight
Who reviewed which decision, with the reviewer's identity and the time they signed off, recorded against the specific action they reviewed.

02NIST AI RMF

NIST AI RMF

Applies to Voluntary in the US, but increasingly the framework enterprise buyers name in their vendor questionnaires.

Structured around functions rather than clauses, so the evidence it wants is an inventory you keep current and measurements you can show moving.

MapKnow what you run
An inventory of every agent, with a risk rating computed from its data access and autonomy by the database rather than by whoever filled in the form.
Measure · ManageTrack and respond
Framework evidence recomputed from your actual records, and alerts when an agent starts touching more sensitive data than it used to.

03HIPAA

HIPAA

Applies to Covered entities and business associates. If an agent of yours reads protected health information, this is the one that carries penalties.

The audit-controls rule is short and specific: record and examine activity in systems that hold health information.

45 CFR § 164.312(b)Audit controls
An append-only activity record for any agent touching health data, attributed to a named person rather than to a service account.

04ISO/IEC 42001

ISO/IEC 42001

Applies to Organisations pursuing certification of an AI management system, usually because a customer asked for it.

Certification turns on documentation you can produce on request, which is mostly a question of whether it was being kept all along.

AI management systemDocumented controls
Inventory, oversight records, and an exportable binder generated from the real record, to support certification preparation.

What this is notOvelin records your agents' activity and maps it to framework requirements so you can evidence it. It does not certify you against any framework, it does not score compliance, and it is not legal advice.

Bring the record to the next review.
